Customer Reviews

A loving depiction of a daddy and his little girl

My six year-old is a Daddy's Girl and this book, even though she has had it for a long time, is one of her very favorites. It is very reassuring to her, especially with its comforting refrain ("I know Daddy will be there"). No, it is not a sing-songy all-is-well book, but neither is it particularly gloomy--it is more a testament to the quiet love of fathers and daughters.(My child has never asked where the mother is, incidentally)

Dads Are There More Than Before

This is a wonderful book for Dads and their daughters to read. I am somewhat perplexed by the criticism that "mom is nowhere to be found." In a growing number of instances Dad's are in fact left -- or seize -- the role of primary parent. Most books are mommy-centric and no one has a cow. Should Daddy-centric books be treated any different? When mom leaves children naturally fear Dad will someday leave too. This book certainly comforts daughters who worry if Daddy will be there and reminds Fathers how important it is that we are. Well done!

Relates the importance of a childs confidence.

This book shows the confidence a child should have that a parent will always be available to them. This will keep the attention of young children and be easy to read by young students. I highly recommend this excellent family oriented book for students K-2 and parents.
